    Strongly disagree. The first season was a team effort by kids to grow and figure things out. Season two was a horror story filled with cliches.
  2. Mike Sixel
    Speechless

    If 4/48 is adjusted for baseball inflation, sure. But if people think they can get even a decent free agent for 12 per year now, they are mistaken, imo. Crossing off Cobb for Lynn for price means you pretty much never spend on even a decent option. Maybe I read the OP wrong, but if the can't afford a mid level free agent, good luck to them.

    How has going cheap and bad worked out any better for wins and losses exactly? Chief is right, every year people say don't spend money so when they are good, they can spend money..... And then people say don't spend money....santana is gone in a year, you need to replace him then....i assume they shouldn't spend any money next year either?

    Has any team signed three big extensions in one year?
  6. Mike Sixel
    Awful list
  7. Mike Sixel
    How well has not signing good pitchers worked out the last seven years or so? It's not like relying on AAA or cheap pitchers has worked.
  8. Mike Sixel
    Correct.
  9. Mike Sixel
    Has any team, in history, signed that many large extensions in one year? Not getting a decent starter.... Good luck.

    Thorpe is a lock to me.

    Just another reminder we know nothing about their health, and we shouldn't question their heart so much, imo. Here is hoping for a speedy recovery!
  12. Mike Sixel
    Been preaching something like this for years. Especially when a team is terrible, without much pitching..... Like the twins were there last few years. Alas, they were not there right group to try something that brash
  13. Mike Sixel
    We should ignore the first half of the year? Those results aren't indicative of anything? Not sure I buy that.
  14. Mike Sixel
    If I was there FO, I would not plan on anything from him. And what I got would be gravy. I would also be grooming him to be the two inning guy that pitches 60 plus games, starting the new trend of relievers being used that way.
  15. Mike Sixel
    certainly.....I just found the two statements in the post to be an interesting juxtaposition, given that not every pitcher is primarily about FBs....even in the era of the fastball.
  16. Mike Sixel
    talk you down from being happy? Never.
  17. Mike Sixel
    I really like you, but that is some awesome cherry picking on Tex....by fwar: 2013: 15 games, -.1 WAR 2014: 123 games, 1.0 WAR 2015: 111 games, 2.9 WAR (hey, a good year!) 2016: 116 games, -1.1 WAR AROD: 2.1 WAR .5 WAR 2.7 WAR -1.2 WAR those two alone are around 50MM of that huge budget.....
  18. Mike Sixel
    I don't think that's the exact reading if you read the full quote, and what the FO is saying about first pitches....it's clear some of those players command the curve ball first and foremost, because that's their best pitch. Much like we saw Duffey do his first year, then abandon, then come back to.....
  19. Mike Sixel
    Always buy the stock I sell the next day.....sigh. Sold off some AMZN to make escrow payment on a new house....only cost me 10% so far (though I still own quite a bit in my retirement accounts)
  20. Mike Sixel
    sounded like one philosophy to me....Rich Hill and much of the Houston staff would disagree it's all about the fastball....just seemed like an odd juxtaposition to have those two lines above.... we literally have no idea who or how he'll coach.....let's just hope it works.
  21. Mike Sixel
    the difference in route running isn't about being where he's supposed to be, it's about how you get there....most guys get to the spot, but the journey is what influences the DB.
  22. Mike Sixel
    Chacin seems like a great candidate to move to the bullpen, pick up 1-2 MPH, shelve the two pitches that don't work, and be good as a RP to me....but I have zero interest in him as a SP. Lynn and Cobb and Chatwood (one of them) would be fine, but not exciting, to me.
  23. Mike Sixel
    the longer you wait, the more expensive it gets, if they are good.
  24. Mike Sixel
    ha, you don't want my 2900 a month place! Any spot with a good drink or beer works. Hollywood is about 15 minutes from where I live. PM me when you get here....
  25. Mike Sixel
    68 and sunny here.......just sayin' wait? two inches of snow in MPLS? wow. gotta start mocking people on FB!
